Knitting with fabric strips

Now that I am on my very long summer hols, and I feel that I have had a bit of a rest; I've now started working my way through some of the ideas that I came across during term time, but didn't get around to trying them out.  This is a large square of old printed furnishing fabric cut on the bias to create a very long 3cm wide strip which I then knitted in garter stitch (every row knit) using 15mm (pretty fat) needles.  I've no idea what you would do with this, as the strip is far from perfect with extra rough ends where the fabric was cut on the turn, and creates random tufts in the knit, but its pretty self supporting and almost sculptural in its nature.
